Tennessee...

Today we had a really fun day... we hung out at the Wards, cruised around town in an H3 Hummer, had dinner with Wynonna Judd and her daughter and manager and daughter, and went to hear Aaron Benward play music at a local pub.  Aaron was great and is so entertaining to watch!  Wynonna is such a sweet heart and so down to earth.  She is super funny as well.  We came back to the house and hung out for the rest of the evening since Tyler was home AJ came over for the night.  We sat around and talked and laughed and looked at hideous pictures.  It was great!! 

Now, onto my prayer request... Please pray that my stupid stomach would not act up.  Today it was horrible as well as my headaches... I had to take a time out today and I went up to my room and slept for  bit because I felt so awful!  So any prayers sent my way in those areas would be great!!  I love you all tons and tons!!!  Have a great night from me and my mom!! :) 

Last two days!!!

Yes, No, Yes, No... Maybe we should measure out the weight and variables and ending values of our decisions.  Well, maybe we should talk about this until... I don't know... 1:30 AM?!   Ok, we are not going to go and everyone is ok with that... Wait, I just got an itch on my toe, lets go!!!  Ok, it is now 2:00 Wednesday morning and we are going to bed so we can get up at 3:30 AM...  BEEP BEEP BEEP... MELODY MELODY MELODY... Roll over turn it off!! Sleeping peacefully until mom rushes into the room, Amy we overslept, it is 4:30 AM and we need to leave at 4:45... needless to say we did not make it out on our scheduled time.  We rush around like little worker bees throwing this in our suite case and that in.  We go into Lexi's room and get her out of bed... I go into Matthew's room and say come on bubba we gotta go, he reaches out a hand, I say sorry but we have to go now... we overslept... needless to say he got right up and helped us on our way.  We get to the airport through security and have an hour to spare... God is good and watched out for us this morning.  We get our routine bottles of water and a pack of gum and head towards our gate.  We stop into the bathroom because lets face it no one likes airplane bathrooms all that much.  So I took my 2 dramamine and we wait to board the flight.  As we get onto the flight I start to have a panic attack kinda and look at my mom as we are taxiing out and ask her if they will let us off... she looks at me like "are you kidding" and I look at her like... woman you don't understand I will jump out the 5 X 10 inch window and run home if I have to... she told me that it was not possible and says "we are stuck now"... 4 words had never felt like such a deadly death sentence!!  So, for this flight I was shaky and sick... We get off and walk around the airport and see the Brighton jewelry store!! We bought a couple things for us girls to share.  We tried to find food, but unlike what people tell you, Texas does not do everything bigger and better.  In this case we scrounged and found a little sustenance.  We got on the next flight which was much shorter and it was a good flight!! (praise God, because if it was bad, I would be driving home from Franklin, Tennessee with my mom in a few days, and folks I am NOT kiddin' around here!!!  We had a great night with Kathy, Duane, Abi, and Justin and we are all looking forward to having the rest of the gang completed by the arrival of Tyler!!  It is perfect!!  So fun!!!  I hope you all have a great night and I love you tons!!!  Thanks for your prayers and if you could possibly pray for our return flight I would greatly appreciate anything you can offer, prayers, fasting, bribes... we will take it all!! 

Please pray as well that the outcome of all of my testing would not be surgery... Thanks and I love you all!! Muahhh!!! 

Results...

So, today I went to OHSU and got my blood results back and they all came back fine except my growth hormone was a bit high.  Since it is high I have to go back in on November 11 and do a 2 hour long test which checks my growth hormone... you know what that means... another IV for the kid!! :)... :(... :0...  If my tumor is secreting growth hormone then I will have to have the surgery for sure, but if it is not then I do not have to have surgery and I get to use the pills!! :)  We will see what is up... I get to go to Tennessee tomorrow with my mom for sure!!!!! YAY!!!! 

Kayli's nephew Carter was born to her sister Kendra at 7:50 AM this morning... He was 5 lbs. 5 oz.  and 18 inches long.  I hear he is a beautiful baby.  I am going to see him tonight so I will try to get a picture!! Love you all tons and thanks for your prayers!! Muahhh!!! 

Day... something!! :)

So, yesterday marked the 9th week of me having problems... So now that we are over that I have had my family all around... It was great because yesterday Chad, Michelle, Courtney, and Elle all visited us and had dinner.  Elle and Courtney are still here and they are leaving some time tomorrow.  Speaking of tomorrow... at 10 AM I will be having my echocardiogram and then I find out my blood results.  I will let you all know tomorrow!!  Love you all and have a great night...

Oh, and my dad is in Brazil and hopefully I will be able to go to Tennessee with my mom on Wednesday!!  So, please pray that all of my tests come out alright so I do not have to miss out on this!!  Love ya!! Muahh!!! 

Day 19

Didn't write yesterday, non-stop headache. Writing through the help of my dad and mom today because of another bad day with the head stuff. Thought I would tell you that I would like your prayers specifically against spiritual attack. For the last few nights, I have been having nightmares. No one in our family has nightmares, but suddenly I do. Does that seem a little strange or out of the ordinary? And these bad dreams have a spiritual quality and includes lots of blood and bad stuff. I wake up praying, which is a good thing, but I would rather not have these dreams in the first place. I also wake up very afraid, and that does not seem right at all. So please be praying for me and specifically against these bad dreams, that I would have good and restful sleep. Thank you so much for your prayers and love. I love you all. Amy

day 17...She picks me....and Joel.

Wow!  Today!  Probably one of the better days so far.  I was blessed enough to be able to hang out with James and Joel.  Man, I think Joel's been working out.  Same with James.  He is ripped!  So they both asked me out today, no big deal.  Ok it was a HUGE deal.  After like an hour debate I finally decided.  My choice reflects my deep inner passion for a real man.  They both have qualities that any woman would look for (any sane woman that is).  James is funny, cute, attractive, hot, and sweeeet.  Joel is a blue eyed stallion with a mane of sheer gold, any woman would die for even the opportunity to be blessed with his baritone voice.  I cant choose just one.  They are like a twix candy bar, you cant just have one, they both complete each other.  You could say they both complete me.

Just kidding, this is James Calkins.  Unfortunately this is just a joke, but ladies hit me up if your single.  And Joel.  

But I will be typing for her so here is her real day.  

Today my head has hurt more than it has for a while.  I have a crush on James.  And Joel.  I did literally nothing but lay on the couch all day.  But than, my two boyfriends showed up.  They brought some very exciting times into this living room.  Especially James.  My mom leaves tomorrow for three days, so there goes my caregiver. 

 Dont worry Joel and myself will take care of you Amy...if you let us...

No doctor appointments until Monday, praise God, my veins can heal!  Yesterday at my appointment the I.V. specialist had to try five different places on my arms to finally get the I.V. in.  She even popped a vein in the process, leaving me bruised with holes.  So that is it.  That is my update for you all.  Love you all and have a good night!

Day 16... OHSU!!!

This is Kim... I am writing for Amy because her head is killing her tonight, but she wanted to let everyone know our findings for the day.  She had her appointment with the doctors at OHSU and found out that she has a benign tumor on her pituitary gland.  They did a lot of blood and we get the results for next tuesday and has another test prior to seeing them Tuesday morning to find out where we go from here.  

             Love you all and thank you for your prayers 

Amy :)
